To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following.
• Before use_ the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been used for such a
period, before using the washer, turn ON all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is
used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to prevent children from
climbing inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing other than as described in this
manual. We strongly recommend that any service be
performed by a qualified individual.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by
the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your
washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load
to catch fire.
• Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for
mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
• Turn OFF the water taps and unplug the washer if the

such as during vacations.
